Also, yeah, RadioHead half-assed it... quality control? Also, the response to Ghosts I-IV... the fans did bring the server to it's knees when going there to buy it (tripling the expected demand AFAIK from ghosts.nin.com). Yeah, NIN music is not for everyone (not that i have anything against them but I suppose that it will prove difficult to find a Spice Girls' fan craving for the halo twenty six)... As it is with Radiohead or almost every other band. So to sum up all i say here is that Trent knew what to put on the torrent sites, what quality of sound was expected from them on a digital download and has many many more points for releasing the entire album (Ghosts I-IV) DRM free under the Creative Commons Attribution - Non Commercial - Share Alike License.

Ooo, the wheel. They half-assed it. Those bitches should've created a car. Ooo, fire for cooking meat. They half-assed it. How about some fricken lasers beams?

Sure he's released it in every format known to man, but does anybody really give a shit? And don't give me that "poet laureate of the [insert obscure sub-genre here] movement" crap. Sorry for the rant. Somebody should call Trent Reznor out for making crap music for years. Sure he’s released it in every format known to man, but does anybody really give a shit?

Sorry for the rant.
